Standard Tuning - Capo 2
Intro: A
Verse 1:
I [A]refuse to spend the rest of my [D]days
Trying to get away from [A]all the things
E ?
I did when I knew not what I'd done
Oh so [A]young and tired love was not an [D]item
My bottle always [A]refused to hear them tell me
Not to [E]stare into the [A]sun
This [A]pornographic place told me a [D]body was to be feared
And then [A]wanted at the same time friend if [E]you figure how
[A]Feared because it was a pathway [D]to a mortal sin
And then you [A]wanted
'Cause we'll all be dust a [E]few short years from [A]now
Chorus:
It's a [E]broken hearted world that we in[D]herit
[E]All we're told to do is sin and [D]bear it
A D A D – E
For a little while on the dark and dirty mile
Verse 2:
It [A]took a while at least for me to [D]live enough 'till I believed
A E ?
None of what I heard and less than half of what I saw
Market [A]days have come and gone
[D]Some were lost and some are on their [A]way back home
To figure out a place to [E]place it [A]all
Chorus:
It's a [E]broken hearted world that we in[D]herit
[E]All we're told to do is sin and [D]bear it
For a little [A]while [D] on the dark and dirty [A]mile
[D] We're all family here in [A]trail
[D] On this dark and dirty [A]mile[D]

Verse 3:
[A]Finally I realized that [D]knowledge better make you wise
A E ?
Or all the knots you learned will leave you in a ball
Hel[A]pless as when we were born
[D]Thread bare and wholly worn out
[A]Shivering as summer gives [E]way to early [A]fall
Chorus:
It's a [E]broken hearted world that we in[D]herit
[E]All we're told to do is sin and [D]bear it
For a little [A]while [D] on the dark and dirty [A]mile
